My thoughts on the Pokemon Direct is that the Diamond and Pearl remakes look pretty bland and I went from being somewhat excited to almost assuredly skipping them. However, I don't mind much because at least Legends looks both 1 ) interesting and 2 ) like something a developer who actually cares about their franchise would do (experiment with it).
Also Pokemon Snap looks fucking great as always.
So like a good 7 or 8/10. It was definitely better than the main direct, as a non Pokemon fan.
